Crap, I forgot that it's BBC Strike Day today...
So that's why Rico said "Good Morning from Singapore!"

At least they have at least one less newscast to worry about.

BBC World News breakfiller on NC just now. Very rarely seen.

Yes, I was surprised to see that, I assumed whilst it was a strike that they would still do a round up of the headlines. I wonder what they'll do in the next hour when it's simulcast on many PBS stations.

Normal News Channel graphics are back now, with The Bottom Line being shown.

Isn't that just Monday to Friday? Remember it's still Sunday night in PBS areas.

I'm not sure, when you've heard "broadcasting to viewers on PBS in America" that many times you forget when they do simulcast.

Edit: You were right, no mention of PBS then. Just viewers at home and abroad.

Where abouts are you watching from? In the Middle East I didn't see the grey banner at the top of the screen, just the recorded icon in the bottom right.

The world break filler is being shown again, I'm guessing it's just being shown during recorded hours.

At least now they've got rid of this monstrosity!

They've replaced it with this which looks much better (in my opinion):

I'm sure the old ticker with the new ticker will be back soon enough though - I'm guessing that the old ticker is only being included during live hours when someone is there to manage it - presumably that's why the break filler is shown as well rather than the 'News In Brief' that was shown an hour earlier.

The ticker is blank on both channels and has been for a few minutes. When the HEADLINES, SPORT or BUSINESS heading scrolls past you can just about see it out of the top of the ticker.

Has Asia Business Report & Sport Today been cancelled by the strike?
I Just wondered as so far we've had The Bottom Line (Which was Scheduled) as well as Dateline London and Click which weren't, in it's place.
